On the plus side, I made "mac and cheese" by melting butter and shredded cheddar into the last of rotini and that hit the spot.

Most things are better after mac and cheese. Sorry about the work badness.
ND, I do have the regular 220 RV port installed for the car, but I still have to bump it down to 5 or 10 Amps so I don't pop breakers. Mostly I don't car if it charges all night so I turn it down.

It rained and thunder stormed all night long. The tent leaked a little but mostly under me not on me, so it went under the sleeping pad and I didn't feel it. So that was ok. Finally stopped around 6am and I was able to get up and go to the bathroom and such, and then drove back to the lake to take dawn photos—wish I'd been about 15 min earlier but still think I got some good ones. Taking the slow route back to Portland today rather than staying another night since there's supposed to be more thunderstorms this afternoon

That sounds so nice, meara. I am weirdly nostalgic for sleeping in a mildly leaky tent while it rains. Haven't done it in a long time. I'm sure I would get over it pretty quick, but it sounds so pleasant right now!

Nice, meara! I haven't been camping in a while, although the place in Otter Lake could be described as roughing it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S woke up at 4 am wanting to sleep with us. Which of course means we did not sleep well for the rest of the night. We started the meds this morning, and we have a meeting with the principal(and Miss Annette from the PEP program) tomorrow.

Best of luck, Sheryl!

Thrive to spite them
Mom had a mini stroke. She is in the hospital for observation but seems to be mostly ok.
For some reason she cant get my of texts or phone calls. So She texted me to call her when I got off work but I couldn't rech her. Matthew finally called her and he got through.
Mom drove herself to the ER. Despite her doctor's office not just telling her to call 911 but offering to call for her.
So now her car is here and we have to figure out how to get it home. I don't know if she will be cleared to drive. Matthew didn't come up with me because hospitals are difficult for him.
I called work and this may technically count against me. I thought it was 3 strikes and you're out but it's 3 and you get a verbal warning. My supervisor said he hated to tell me that and he didn't thin it would count against me but they hve been really strict. Which sucks but if the least of my worries.
